Chapter 186 Extra 5 - The Future
The warm sunlight shone through the window, and a young girl in a red coat was sitting by the window.
She has a neat short haircut, which fully reveals her bright and elegant facial features, as if she has her own makeup effect.
Her skin is very white, a complexion that I haven’t seen from anyone who has seen skin covered in the sun for a long time.
There were many people around, both men and women, peeking at her.
On the table in front of her was an open book, and she had obviously finished reading it.
After reading the last page, the girl was stunned for a long time before she slowly closed the book, stood up and put it back on the bookshelf.
Someone went over to take a look out of curiosity.
I thought that girls of this age would mostly like to read novels, or some sad poems and essays, but I didn't expect it to be an old history book. It can be seen that it has been published for some years, and even the book has turned yellow.
Fortunately, this city center library has a rich collection of books and a long history, and these books are well preserved, so we can see the contents of these old books in their entirety.
There are not many fancy patterns on the cover of the book, only a few big black words - "Biographies of Famous Generals of the Great Qi Dynasty".
Ye Qiongying had already left the library at this time, and the cool breeze outside made her tighten her coat.
The hurried crowds, the towering buildings, the endless stream of vehicles...
All of this felt very unfamiliar to her.
She was already in her twilight years, having seen her grandmother and aunt pass away, and even Di Yu'an passed away before her, but she was still in good health.
It was not until her great-granddaughter was born that Ye Qiongying passed away with a smile on her face.
This was considered a happy funeral. She even began to fantasize about whether she would go to the underworld to meet her father, brother, and Di Yu'an after her death. They had promised to wait for her to reincarnate together.
But when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in the hospital.
That’s right, here the clinic is called a hospital, and the doctor has become a doctor wearing white clothes and a hat.
The others did not find her confusion surprising and quickly told her about her situation.
With the memories gradually emerging in her mind, Ye Qiongying quickly understood her current situation.
The girl's name is Ye Ying, which is a bit similar to her name, except for one character difference.
Her parents had a family-alien marriage, but they had no feelings for each other. After the marriage, Ye Ying was left alone, and they each found a lover.
Some time ago, one of Ye's father's lovers actually came to the house and provoked Ye's mother, and even threatened that she was preparing for pregnancy and would give birth to a son soon, and then the position of Mrs. Ye would be hers.
The marriage between the two families is not that simple. After so many years, various interests have long been intertwined.
So, even though the elders of both parties have long passed away, the couple did not divorce, but continued to maintain a superficial relationship as it did not prevent them from enjoying themselves outside.
The two of them also tacitly agreed not to have any illegitimate children.
After all, no matter which side has the child, the other side will not be happy for the other side to inherit the family business and take advantage of them.
Therefore, as soon as Ye Ying was born, the two signed a contract that no matter how they behaved outside, they must not have illegitimate children, and all their property must be inherited by their common children in the future.
This time, something went wrong with Ye's father.
The two had an argument on the way to drop their daughter off at college.
Before the argument could come to a conclusion, the car had an accident.
A car accident, two dead and one injured.
The couple who had no feelings for each other died on the same day. Instead, their biological daughter, who they had never invested any feelings in and only used to ensure that the family's interests were not harmed, survived.
Ye Qiongying really couldn't comment on this.
In the past, her parents loved each other and her family was harmonious, but something unexpected happened and took them all away.
The world is much more peaceful now, there are no such tragic wars, but this new couple who had a bad relationship killed themselves.
Maybe she just doesn't have much affinity with her parents.
Fortunately, although these two people are not good as parents, they are second to none as businessmen.
People were appointed early on to help handle company affairs, so even someone like Ye Qiongying who didn't understand these things wouldn't have to worry about anything when she took over. She just had to wait for the annual dividends.
With their help, Ye Qiongying took care of the funeral affairs for her parents in this life, took a year off from school, and postponed her report to university for another year.
This car accident actually resulted in three deaths, because if Ye Qiongying hadn't arrived, the original owner, Ye Ying, would have died along with her parents.
Ye Qiongying's arrival gave the body a glimmer of life, and the body was rescued and brought back to life.
But the injury was serious, and she had to recuperate at home for half a year before she was finally able to go out.
As soon as she came out, she found the library here.
With the memories of the original owner, Ye Qiongying has learned to use the tools of this era and can recognize the words.
She had learned in advance on the Internet that the Great Qi did exist and that there was an emperor named Di Yu'an.
Even she left her mark in history books.
This was recorded in the history that Ye Ying had studied.
However, in the long river of time, Da Qi was only a small part of it, belonging to their decades of life, and only a small chapter in the history textbooks.
Apart from some of their political achievements, there is not much other information.
Ye Qiongying learned from the Internet that this library has a rich collection of books, including records of unofficial history of the Great Qi Dynasty.
She came here specially.
I saw the book "Biographies of Famous Generals of the Great Qi" just now.
She saw the names of several generations of the Ye family’s ancestors, her father, and then her own.
Her dream had finally come true.
She became a female general and, like the female ancestor of the Ye family, was recorded in history.
And because she was also the queen of the time, she promoted many laws and regulations concerning women, greatly improved the status of women in Da Qi and even in later dynasties, and completely quelled the war on the border and expanded the territory of Da Qi, so there are many articles about her.
Not only in unofficial history, but also in official history, she is praised a lot.
Ye Qiongying was naturally happy after seeing it, but at the same time, she was also a little confused.
this era……
She thought of Leng Qianqian.
Leng Qianqian once said that she came from another era.
Ye Qiongying doesn’t have any mind-reading skills, so she doesn’t know what the world Leng Qianqian came from is like.
But from some of the remarks that Leng Qianqian occasionally blurted out that were different from those of women from Da Qi, we could guess a thing or two.
Now that she was here, she realized that her imagination was still a little lacking after all.
This era is even better than she thought.
There are not so many wars and people live and work in peace.
Girls can now go to school openly, study and take exams like boys, then go out to work, and even become officials!
Of course, there will still be injustices.
But these are much better than the sufferings of those daughters in the past.
Ye Qiongying believes that as long as generations continue to work hard, one day they will be able to become better and live happier and freer lives.
A car slowly stopped in front of her, the window opened, revealing the driver's face:
"Miss Ye, are you going home? Or do you want to go out for a walk?"
It was the Ye family’s driver.
Ye Qiongying opened the car door and got in.
When Ye Qiongying first saw the four-wheeled car running on the ground, she was surprised even though she had such a scene in her memory.
If she had not been a general and queen for so many years and had not developed the ability to remain calm, she would probably have been laughed at.
Now, she can take it in stride.
"Let's go back first," Ye Qiongying said, "I'm a little tired today."
After all, I had just recovered and could not bear the slightest bit of fatigue.
Fortunately, now that she has recovered from her injury, she can start exercising, regain her former skills, and be healthier.
The driver smiled and said:
"Okay, then go back and have a rest. If you want to come out in a few days, I'll drive you back.
It will be a while before you register at school, so you can buy some things to prepare. "
Nowadays, there are no slaves in the house who have signed indentures, all are employment relationships.
This is also what Ye Qiongying has learned recently.
Fortunately, she was not the kind of person who would have everything done for her, she never exploited her servants, and she never looked down on the people who served her, so there was nothing she was not used to.
She quite likes this kind of equal relationship.
After hearing what the driver said, Ye Qiongying couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Oh, right, school.
The original owner had never had a close relationship with his parents since childhood. He was alone most of the time and was aloof and introverted, not someone he interacted with much.
But she was also a good child. Her family was wealthy and she had plenty of pocket money. She did not develop any bad habits. Instead, she immersed herself in studying and was admitted to a very good university.
It was also because he had earned face for the couple that he was able to take the time out of his schedule and drive her to report to school.
I don't know...
Ye Qiongying did not feel sorry for the dead couple.
You are not young anymore, and you should take responsibility for your own actions.
But she really felt sorry for the little girl.
After so much difficulty getting to this point, he died in a car accident because of his unreliable parents.
Ye Qiongying did not come to this world voluntarily and possess the body of that little girl, but now that it has become a fact, she has no choice.
Besides, it wasn't her who caused the car accident that killed the innocent girl.
Now that she has become "Ye Ying", she decided that she should live well and see the world on behalf of Ye Ying. If possible, she should make some achievements so as not to let this adventure go to waste.
only……
She thought of Di Yu'an.
After his death, he did not see the King of Hell or the underworld, nor did he drink the Meng Po soup that made him forget his memories. Instead, he went directly to this place and became Ye Ying.
What about Di Yuan?
He said that after his death he would wait for her before he would be reincarnated, and when he asked her to cross the bridge, he must choose the right person and not hold the wrong hand.
She missed the step of reincarnation. Can Di Yu'an still wait for her?
Ye Qiongying has witnessed rebirth, and now she has personally experienced time travel. How much does she believe in the stories of ghosts and gods?
Thinking of Di Yu'an waiting pitifully by the Naihe Bridge, Ye Qiongying felt a little distressed.
It would be nice if he came here too.
What a wonderful new world this is!
He should have grown up healthily in a family with both parents, and would not have met a concubine vying for favor, poisoning him and making him weak since childhood.
He is good-looking and has a cute personality. He must have a lot of good friends and should be very popular with girls, right?
(Da Qi courtiers: Who? Who has a lovely personality? Your Majesty, please don’t lie with your eyes open!)
Ye Qiongying was already old when she died, and this life was her third.
Thinking of Di Yu'an being surrounded by a group of little girls, she did not feel jealous, but just wanted to laugh out loud.
"Ms. Ye, you seem to be in a good mood today. It's rare to hear you smile so happily."
It was the words of the driver in front of her that brought her back to her senses.
Ye Qiongying was stunned for a moment before answering:
"Yeah, I can finally go out. It's rare that the sun is out today. I'm in a good mood."
The driver glanced back.
Mr. and Mrs. Ye are not often at home, but they spend more time with the servants, drivers and young ladies in the house.
Miss Ye has no shortage of supplies, but she has no parental care.
Now, even my parents are gone.
Everyone was worried about her, fearing that the young woman would not be able to get over the problem and would just follow her parents.
Now that I see she can laugh, I feel relieved.
After returning home, Ye Qiongying was not idle either.
She took out all the books left by the original owner and started reading them.
She has to go to school to continue her studies. The original owner worked hard to get into university, and she can't tarnish her reputation as a young girl. She has to learn these things no matter what.
With the original owner's memories, it is not difficult to pick these up again.
Ye Qiongying did not find it boring. Instead, she quickly immersed herself in the ocean of new knowledge and was unable to extricate herself. She even had no time to think about her past life.
That's it.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and living in the present is the most important thing.
Da Qi has become history, and even if she knew something, she is powerless to change it.
As for Emperor Yu'an...
This kid had often acted like a spoiled child and asked her to help with state affairs in the past. Now if he just waits for her a little longer, it should be... no big deal, right?
At worst, I can just coax him more after she goes down.
Time passed as Ye Qiongying studied and exercised every day.
On the day of reporting, the Ye family's driver drove a large car, and the family's nanny, cook, and gardener all followed.
Ye Qiongying knew that they were afraid that the little girl would be sad because her parents were not around.
They were her family.
Ye Qiongying did not refuse their kindness. She took a car to the school, put her things in place, met her new roommates, and took everyone to the cafeteria for a meal before seeing them off.
"Ms. Ye, the school is close to home. You must come home when you have time. If you have anything, please call home. We are all here!"
The driver drove the car and took the others away.
Ye Qiongying waved at them and felt as if she saw Uncle Ye, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm.
When the vehicle was finally out of sight, she turned around and prepared to go back to school.
But as soon as I turned around, I accidentally bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry, I was careless, you didn't..."
Before she could finish her words, Ye Qiongying felt her wrist tightened. She frowned and was about to break free and fight back, but she was met with a pair of familiar eyes.
The young man with a blazing gaze lowered his head and whispered in her ear:
"Call me senior. I am a few years older than you now, sis, sis..."
